Zombie rounds in a school? What happens if one of u cowboys miss and hit a child? Ugly if it hits a child! Armour piercing in a school building! Asknot, ive known those who like to talk tough, and when the times get tought, not alot of them r there when it all shakes out! U sound to me like a big crower, and part of the problem!

The U.S. has a culture of violence that permeates everything. Why else would a civilized society think it has to be armed with a gun in a school? There should be no guns in schools period.

Yes, Lanza, the shooter at Sandy Hook stole the guns he used. He lived at home with his mother and stole her guns. Knowing her son was terribly troubled should have made her realize her guns should be secured outside of the home. She failed her son. The mental health community failed her son by not identifying his illness associated with violence. The court system failed her son by not issuing a civil commitment order to protect the community.

We can't change any of this, so let us learn the real lessons here or we're doomed to repeat them.

Arming teachers or other school officials is ludicrous. Armed people all over town, in a restaurant, the park, shops, anywhere and everywhere is outrageous. That is not the answer to the problem. Treating people who are prone to violence and limiting their access to methods of violence and the public will work, and little Johnny will not be caught in the crossfire.

If memory serves me correctly, when Bob Schlicher was sheriff he implemented community policing with outposts in several parts of the county including at the Barlow VFD as well as New Matamoras and Macksburg to name just a few. This program was eliminated by Sheriff Mincks who now once again wants to look like he is coming to the rescue. Those of us who have been around awhile know better....we won't drink your kool-aid!!
